Having five sons, which neither one ever listens to any advice that I may give. Nor do any of them actually need me for anything. I thought today how I once use to be the smartest, bravest person in their world. The one that showed them how to do things such as tie their shoes, helped them write their name for the first time. I was always there to answer the hundreds of questions they would ask daily. I remember thinking one time if I hear one more question, I'll scream. Funny how I would so enjoy it now if just one of them would ask me my opinion on something. Of course those times are long past. I use to be the one that scared all the monsters away that were under the bed, or in dark places. Yes, I was once their hero. Now I'm just the mom that's getting old and gray haired. Now their hero's are football players, car racers or whatever. Those were precious times. I didn't realize then just how precious they were.
To all parents out there with young toddlers. Don't take a second with them for granted. They grow up so fast and before you know it, they will be teens, and then adults, on their own.
Love them with all your hearts and hug them often.
And by all means, start just as soon as you can to teach them about the Lord. Make God part of your everyday conversations with them.
God bless, and happy parenting.
